Santorini
Five-star caldera resorts, private catamarans, fine dining and exclusive experiences on Greece's most photographed island.
Santorini's appeal is a trifecta of geology, mythology and modern design. The eruption of roughly 1600 BCE left a flooded crater ringed by obsidian cliffs, a natural amphitheatre pointed at the sunset, and pumice soil that gives the island's produce and wine an unmistakable salinity.
Luxury here is defined by access rather than price: to guest-only terraces when the cruise crowds arrive, to sommeliers pouring rare Assyrtiko reserves, to captains who know exactly where the light will land at seven in the evening.
